If my Tomcat-3.2.x hosted webapp is accessed through a browser with cookies disabled, Tomcat will rewrite URLs in responses, which is OK. However, if the URL contained in the response contains an achor, say
http://foo.com/bar.html#anchor the rewritten URL will become http://foo.com/bar.html#anchor;JSESSIONID=abcdefgh instead of http://foo.com/bar.html;JSESSIONID=abcdefgh#anchor. Is this the intended behavior? I guess not, since the browser (IE in this case) will treat JSESSIONID as part of the anchor, not part of the URL which has two negative effects: 1. the anchor is not found (less problematic) 2. the JSESSIONID is not sent to the server as part of the URL (problematic as session is lost). I don't know if this is issue with 3.3.x and 4.x line of Tomcats. Anyway, the problem can be easily walked around by only running the part of the URL before the anchor through the HttpServletResponse.encodeRedirectURL(), that is using resp.encodeRedirectURL("bar.html") + "#anchor" instead of resp.encodeRedirectURL("bar.html#anchor") Cheers, Attila. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Troubles with the list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
